Collections at the "Round Top" TX Flea

My favorite part of the "Round Top Flea" somewhere between Austin and Houston,
was the feeling I was walking on the set of some old western film. The antique show spans across open farm land (so dry, so hot and lots of grasshoppers!) and ghost-town like squares (pictured below). 
We truly were in the heart of Texas-it was so hot I could hardly carry my camera!

Hopi Color Tints

Love these Hopi Indian photographs from the 1920's-50's. We are such suckers for color tinted photographs! 


Fred Kabotie, a Hopi Pueblo artist (painter and silversmith) who was one of the first students taught painting methods by Elizabeth DeHuff







Married Hopi woman, wrapped in her wedding gown, that was likely woven by her husband. You can tell she is married because her hair is down, not up in the butterfly whorls worn by unmarried Hopi girls.
